Between Heaven and Earth

[instrumental intro] [Verse] They tell you tales of paradise real high But here on Earth the truth's a heavy sigh Heaven's gates ain't open wide as they claim Just another puzzle in a holy game [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] Preachers preach about a fiery fate While hunger gnaws at a worn-out plate Promises of salvation in the sky But all I see are broken dreams passing by [Chorus] Between heaven and Earth lies a heavy lie Saints and sinners look through the same eye Miracles they say will come to pass But reality's reflection is a shattered glass [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] They build their temples tall and bright But shadows grow in the dimming light Faith's a crutch for the weary mind Yet truth's elusive hidden hard to find [Bridge] You seek redemption in the sacred book But answers hide where you don’t think to look Holy words written with gold ink and glee Contradictions in every line you see [Chorus] Between heaven and Earth lies a heavy lie Saints and sinners look through the same eye Miracles they say will come to pass But reality's reflection is a shattered glass
